Things you love to see:

Blackhawks trade 2020 first-round pick Lukas Reichel to Vancouver for a 2027 fourth-round pick. That's been inevitable for a while now, but still a very underwhelming return for a player whose talent, at least, is evident.

Pathetic.

The Avs have recalled Jack Ahcan and Danil Gushchin from the Eagles.

Brind’Amour said postgame that Robinson and Carrier, who each left with an injury during the game, are going to be out for what looks like extended time. Didn’t know on Miller, who was a late scratch, yet.

Missed headline opportunities: He’s Just A Miner Threat

Canes win 5-4.

Shootout time.

Stankoven takes a high stick penalty. Avs have 1:16 of PP time.

Overtime in Denver. Canes gave up a three-goal lead but are starting OT with 13 seconds of PP time.

Trent Miner didn't do a whole lot for a period, but he's come up huge late. We're headed to overtime.

Avs are now 1-for-7 this game.

Nichushkin ties it. 4-4

Necas extended his season-opening point streak to eight games (six goals, six assists).

Some of the worst power plays I've seen.

Goal stands. Not a missed game stoppage.

Canes are challenging for a missed game stoppage.

Malinski appears to have scored to make it 4-2. Carolina called a time out, presumably to buy more review time for Toronto. The shot may have hit the glove of Kelly on its way to the net.

Canes down another player

Stankoven scores and Trent Miner is entering the game.

Fun fact, there has yet to be an assist in this game. It's 2-1.

Three goals in the first 7:17 of this game. Send help. 2-1 Carolina Whalers.

This game is reaching Adams Division levels already.

Just drove the net and sent a backhander over the glove.

Eric Robinson comes down the left wing on a one-on-one rush and snaps one over Scott Wedgewood's right shoulder. First bad goal Wedgewood has allowed at even strength all season. 1-0 Canes

Asked Brind'Amour this morning about where his quad is playing at now compared where he wants to be. He said he wouldn't answer because they haven't had their full team yet. Another blow there.

Even announced as Whalers in pregame intro bit.

Tonight's warmies lines: Lehkonen -- MacKinnon -- Necas Landeskog -- Nelson -- Nichushkin Colton -- Drury -- Olofsson Kelly -- Bardakov -- Brindley Toews -- Makar Manson -- Burns Solovyov -- Malinski Wedgewood

This kit is 🔥

This is illegal.

Intentional. He called them Bob Ross happy little brushes.

New helmet tonight for Scott Wedgewood. He said it was inspired by Clint Malarchuk.

Scott Wedgewood is in the starter's net at morning skate.

The government is shut down and this puppet claims to have no idea what's happening in this country. He's the speaker of the house. That's third in line for the top job. Maybe he should spend less time up the ass of his handlers.

The Avs had possession in overtime, but a MacKinnon turnover gives it back to the Mammoth and Guenther takes the game for Utah. 4-3 loss for Colorado. Avs still unbeaten in regulation through seven games.

Mammoth are for real.

The Avs will be honoring Brent Burns for his 1,500 game achievement with a pregame ceremony on Thursday. Fans should be in their seats by 7 p.m. if they wish to see it.

Keep the shutdown until Grijalva is sworn in, too.

Money is the only thing oligarchs respond to and respect. More people need to be considering how they spend their money and what that spending is going on to support.

This is what those funds starting to flow looks like. It is going to get worse. Stop acting like this is normal. Stop running ads recruiting for ICE and salivating over ICE contracts. Start aligning with those under attack. Start promising accountability and reform. bsky.app/profile/mica...

Nailed it.

I am not a blue guy. Josh Manson is a blue guy. I asked him about the kit/sweater combo and he was super excited to wear it and for fans to see it. It will go well with Scott Wedgewood’s throwback pads too.

How can NFL officials not call a player getting pummeled into the opposing bench with his helmet on the ground a penalty? How bad are you? Also, stiff-arms to the face and grabbing face masks should be a penalty.

Mackenzie Blackwood isn’t going to Utah with the #Avs. Trent Miner will be going.

Scott Wedgewood is the NHL’s Third Star of the Week. He went 3-0-0 with a 1.00 goals-against average and .954 save percentage.

Interesting development: Trent Miner just exited Avalanche practice to the locker room. Blackwood and Wedgewood are your two goalies at practice.

The end of this game is absolutely glorious anyway!

The end of this game is absolute BS
